747: The Silent Shift: Why The Perimenopause Transition Shapes Your Next 40 Years


Listen Later

“Perimenopause is more than just hot flashes and mood swings—it’s a biological inflection point.”

In this solo episode, Dr. Mariza discusses the deeper, often overlooked changes happening during perimenopause and menopause. It’s more than a reproductive shift; it’s a systemic change affecting the brain, metabolism, hormones, mitochondria, gut health, and more.

Dr. Mariza delves into the silent shift that many women experience—feeling exhausted, stressed, and unproductive despite their best efforts. She explains how perimenopause accelerates aging processes, and why early intervention is key to reducing long-term health risks and preserving vitality.

This episode focuses on actionable steps you can take to support your body during this critical transition—from stabilizing blood sugar and building muscle to optimizing sleep and protecting your brain.

If you’ve been feeling “off” but can’t explain why, this episode is a must-listen.

Be sure to tune in!

                “Perimenopause is more than just skipped periods or hot flashes. It’s a shift in every system of the body.”
